Three-finger drag

• Instead of a click and drag with two fingers (or two hands)

Two-finger scroll

• Discuss why the swipe direction has changed in Lion (it's so that it mimics the iPad). This does take a little getting used to. If you are a HEAVY iPod Touch or iPad user though, it does make sense.

Swipe between full-screen apps

• Discuss FULL SCREEN apps. Demonstrate how to make an app full screen.

• Click on the arrows in the right-hand corner to make the app full screen.

Swipe to navigate

• Use Safari. Open a window and click on a link or two or three. Practice going back pages using this technique. (This replaces the back button).

Tap to Zoom & Pinch to zoom

• Three-finger double-tap on a word to get the definition.
  

  This is awesome...when it's done correctly! (I often don't tap right) :-)
